Somebody made a passing reference that we should start an atheist homeland, so that any atheists tired of putting up with religion all day will have somewhere to go.

So, I was wondering, how would we go about organizing such a thing? And where?

We could try Antarctica. I don't think the natives would mind.

I say we take over Belize. There's only 200,000 Belizeans, and they have great weather and low real estate prices. Belize's GNP is about equal to a small U.S. town of 50,000. We could probably just buy the country outright.

After the 2000 presidential non-election I announced the formal secession of my apartment from the Union.

No one seemed to care, least of all my employer, who kept withholding taxes anyway. Bummer.

But I am still the President of my apartment, and I hereby declare it totally secular.

Does this mean I can declare war on the Jehovah's when they come to the door with their magazines of mass destruction?

If you made a whole new country, what would you call it? Atheasia? Atheopia?

Or we can go with "Freedonia"....

Is this not what Amsterdam is?
I would imagine the land of sex and drugs would be rather secular.

If someone gets me a decent job there, I'm gone.

I'd even risk crossing the Atlantic by plane to follow this heathen dream.

Really? When can we all move in?

You're going to need a war department for this. I'll volunteer to be Secretary of Defense.

Well I did it and I`m afraid of heights as well as unable to swim. It wasn`t half as scary as i thought it would be.

BTW,
The ocean prefers to be called the Ocean Atlantique once you get a few hundred miles from the American shore.

I suggest we call it Nogodland.
